review

I have never been so excited for a Sunday in my life. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever been excited for a Sunday. Sundays usually remind me of homework and the following Monday.

Ben Folds is definitely not on his way to “normal.” After a creative and prolific career, the musician continues to deliver songs with catchy rhythms and innovative lyrics.
